Die hard : Greatest action movie ever made

Exit through gift shop : Great doco about graffiti and selling out

Leon/The professional : Jean Reno and Natalie Portman.. say no more?

Raging bull : beats Rocky to a pulp

Casino : mobsters, casino's (noshit.jpg), guns, broads and backstabbing

The usual suspects : No comment because its not worth spoiling a single part of this epic movie

Trainspotting : The best way to never try Heroin

As part of my ever constant journey to expand my culture,

If you want clever - Primer.

The West Wing of time travel movies.

 

[NinjaDuckie]

Primer was fucking nuts, I got completely lost in that film twice.

You should check out The Prestige - early-ish Christopher Nolan. It's got David Bowie in it playing Nikola Tesla.

2001 a space Odyssey, blade runner,light shop of horrors and 2011 the year we made contact the sequel to 2001 it not as good but it is a good interpretation of what Kubrick did at the end of 2001

 

[RobCoxxy]

Heat. Al Pacino vs Robert De Niro, one of the most amazing shootouts in a film ever....
Definitely worth watching.

 

[Bobic]

I suggest you watch Memento, it's like nothing else. It's written and directed by Christopher Nolan and the whole film is told backwards. You won't regret it.

 

[team star pug]

Definitely Terminator 2: Judgement day, one of my favorite movies.

 

[.rachel.]

Hedgehog in the Fog, or really any short by Yuri Norstein. If you like stop motion you'll find the stuff he's done to be utterly amazing. One of his works, Tale of Tales, has even received the tile of greatest animated film of all time in various polls, but you may have to watch it a couple of times to fully comprehend what's going on. (I know I did.)

In Bruges.

One of the greatest Black Comedies of recent years.

I just watched it. It was great and I did not foresee the ending until it was happening. And looking back it was fairly obvious so it did not come off as a twist. Usually I pick up on these things way ahead of time and ruin it. I hate movies with terrible endings.

Movies with good endings:

Repo Man- great ending had my head spinning for a while with the unfairness of it all. By the way not "Repo Man:the genetic opera" although good you need friends to watch that one with you and perhaps drinking because it is rather silly.

Smokin' Aces: Loved that ending and showed that the falling action after the climax can be powerful with a good musical score too.

Too many movies have terrible endings.

 

[Bocaj2000]

Try "Brazil." It's a great mindfuck of a movie. Another film I enjoy is "American Beauty." It is a beautiful film and will also help you understand a few jokes from Family Guy. My third recommendation is "Minority Report." It is one of the best sci-fi films I know (in my opinion).

Movies that I like that you might not are these:
Shooter
Rollerball (both the original and the remake)
Orgasmo (by Matt Stone and Trey Parker)
Mad Max trilogy
1984

Enjoy

EDIT:
completely forgot about "Snatch," "Scary Movie 3," and "History of Violence."

 

[mcnally86]

Oh just though of one but can't remember the name. Its a Japanese triple feature if anyone remembers. All 3 movies are shorts. The first is a woman who feels useless so she turns into a chair, then there is one about a guy who can't leave his house and is obsessed with scatological pursuits. And finally there is one about a homeless man who terrorizes the city. He comes across as a normal angry homeless man but people flee from him like Godzilla.

 

[Cutter9792]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

My favorite movie of all time. Robert Downey Junior and Val Kilmer. Probably one of the funniest movies from the last ten years.

 

[googleback]

In Bruges.

One of the greatest Black Comedies of recent years.

"In Bruges" is truly, an absolutely awesome film. If you haven't, definitely watch it.

Also, try "Black Death" if you haven't. It sounds moderately un-prepossessing - Sean Bean, generic medieaval setting, plague, witches, etc. But...beneath the slightly silly sounding premise, there lurks a horror film that's creepily disturbing in the same way that The Wicker Man was. The good Wicker Man. Not the terribad remake with Nicholas Cage.

Spoiler: Trailer here

You have impeccable taste, sir!
Black Death is also really good.

Sean Bean giving his best performance too. bloody AWESOME film.

from me;

Winter's Bone
The Mist
Pride and Glory
Mesrine parts 1+2 (absefuckingloutleyBRILLIANT!)
The Boondock Saints
A Prophet
The Wackness
Rogue (realistic 20 ft long killer croc = pantcrapper)

To name a few. get stuck in!

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Any movie at all? Well... I recommend any the following:

District 9
Scott Pilgrim VS The World (Though reading the comic it's based on first is a good idea)
Fight Club
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Back to the Future (all 3)
Animal House
Spaceballs
Airplane!

 

[sergnb]

Well I'm gonna recommend you a bunch of classic movies that I fucking love and are very very entertaining. Most of them you probably have already seen but if you haven't, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR. Here is the list.

Fight Club

LA Confidential

Being John Malkovich

American History X

Taxi Driver

Original Star Wars trilogy (yeah yeah I know. I said all of them, and you are gonna watch them. Again)

The usual suspects

Reservoir Dogs

Pulp Fiction

Really anything from Tarantino...

I'm not into the drama genre much but when I see a good dramatic movie I recommend it to everyone. So go watch Hurricane Carter. It's the ONLY film to date that has made me cry. Twice. Like, couldn't-resist-it-anymore-cry. Definitely kills and stomps on any kind of good mood you could have tho.

That's it for today. I could list a shitton of other fantastic movies here but I'm not going to overwhelm you because that will result in you not watching any of them. You'll have a good couple days of entertainment with these

 

[Racecar1994]

You should check out The Prestige - early-ish Christopher Nolan. It's got David Bowie in it playing Nikola Tesla.

I was just thinking of that one when this thread popped up.

Two films that I feel have sort of slipped under the radar is Nolan's Insomnia, and Red Dragon. Both interesting stories about relatively sympathetic killers, and how they came to be.

Krull, the campyness makes it great.
